A Primer: Funding Higher Education California
Legislative
Analyst's Office - Where does the funding for higher education come
from? How are costs divided among various groups (such as undergraduate
and graduate students)? What role do student fees play? How is financial
aid funded? How does the state decide how many students to fund in a
given year? The purpose of this primer is to address these and other
questions related to the funding of higher education in California,
so as to aid policymakers and other interested parties in their deliberations
and decision making. More... California
State Budget Update Legislative Alert! The California Legislature is set to consider a "gutted and amended" bill (AB 3036) that would eliminate current protections that prevent the University of California and the state's other educational organizations from being charged unfair utility rates. Without these legal protections, municipal utility districts will be able to impose capital charges on UC and public agencies unilaterally, leaving UC employees and students – and taxpayers throughout California – to foot the bill. Get informed! The California Legislative Analyst Office's "California Spending Plan 2004-05" is available online. The discussion of Higher Education begins on page 31. A downloadable pdf version of the report is also available. Turn words into action! Send your legislators a letter in support of UC.
